The pride of the Eventide Gorge lies not far from the Thundering Mountains, to the south. While not as prosperous as their neighbours, the pride once enjoyed a glorious regime under King Jupiter and his Queen, Vesper, with their Heir, Vesta, as their potential successor. Unfortunately, Jupiter and a good portion of the pride's number succumbed to an unknown illness, resulting in Jupiter's sibling, Mars, ascending to the throne. While initially accepting their brother's mate as their own, Mars soon schemed with a lioness of Red Stone, Meadowsweet, to rid themselves of Vesper and her daughter, Vesta. The plan was a half success, with Vesper drowning in the Gorge's river and Vesta disappearing. Meadowsweet then ascended to the throne as Queen Venus. Mercury was selected as their Knight.
